Got my permit (FINALLY!)

This is a discussion on Got my permit (FINALLY!) within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Got my pistol permit in the mail today. Took 7 1/2 months. Monroe County (rochester) in Upstate NY. No restrictions :)
If anyone is wondering ...

The worst part about this waiting time......

Many of my bosses would only wait two weeks before getting theirs.

Why? My bosses were lawyers.

How? They would walk their pistol permits through the system.

When if came time to deliver the application paperwork to the judge, they would merely find out through the court clerk's office which judge was scheduled to review permit applications and deliver the paperwork themselves that day. If it was an anti judge or a judge that they simply had poor, little or no relationship; they would simply wait until the next day for another judge. Judge shopping at it's finest.

I had enough friends within the courthouse that I was able to do the same thing myself. It wasn't right and a bit of a pain in the posterior to walking it through, but it was damned more convienent than waiting months.

I just hated the entire process of adding the handguns to the permit. It took three hours of my day to do it after buying my new toy.

Another Rochestarian on the board. How long after you got the letter from the judge saying you have been approved did your final permit take? I got a letter about two weeks ago said that I would receive my permit in about 2 to 4 weeks. Although I got that letter only 4 months after application. Turned in the application on Dec 30th and got the letter at the end of April.

Turned in my application september 17th.

Got a phone call from the sheriff (so did my references) asking questions about the 3rd week of march, maybe the 22nd. He said he was going to turn in his paperwork by the end of the week it was going to take 4-6 weeks longer.

Got a letter from the county judge saying he had reviewed and approved my application last friday the 28th. Permit came on tuesday may 2nd.

Mind you i live in the suburbs, not the city of rochester so my permit goes through the county judge and not the city of rochester court.

On a side note, do you have any recommendations about an indoor range to join?
